Yoshida said during the Q&A that the Echo is needed to travel freely, which lines up with what we see with depressed, Archer Derplander in the cinematic. The sleepers are likely screwed if they can't find a way to get their souls ferried back through the Aetherial Sea to the Source, which should be within Minfilia/Hydaelyn's power.
